Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

and Ah Jian.
And then she raised her lips to a sneer: “Alright! Go on, talk then! I think it's better to talk about your matter first!”

 

Mrs.
Qiao pointed at Ah Jian and smirked: “Let's talk about you lacking in woman's propriety first.
To let an adulterer live at home!”

 

When she finished, Mrs.
Qiao gave her a smug look, as if she caught Lian Fang Zhou's weak spot.
Her heart immediately cried out in delight.

 

Not just her, Lian Li was also slightly smirking at the side: This time his woman has become astute.

 

Lian Fang Zhou paused for a bit and started to laugh mockingly.
She steadily gazed at Mrs.
Qiao and questioned: “Lacking in woman's virtue? Adulterer? I haven't married yet, so what woman's virtue? I have no husband, so what adulterer? Ah Jian is our family's farmhand.
We have an indenture as proof.
If you speak any more rubbish, we'll make a trip a trip to the county town!”

 

She coldly laughed and raised her brow and continued: “Ah Jian and I aren't married.
If I marry him for real, then what? Who would say anything?”

 

Mrs.
Qiao and Lian Li became tongue-tied.
They were completely dumbfounded.

 

What Lian Fang Zhou said was right!

 

Hearing Lian Fang Zhou say this so brazenly, Ah Jian's heart slightly jumped.
Out of nowhere, an inexplicable feeling sprouted.
He couldn't help steal some quick glance at her.
Inside he felt a bit happy.

 

However, Mrs.
Qiao and Lian Li were furious.
They didn't have the slightest clue what to do with her.

 

In the ordinary course of events, Mrs.
Qiao and Lian Li should take their field as well as taking care of the four siblings after their parents passed away.
Afterall, they were the only elders in Lian Family.

 

But Mrs.
Qiao and Lian Li were a bit unwilling when they thought about the fact they would need to prepare dowry for their two nieces and help two nephews find a bride.

 

Even so, the second branch's few acres of land is very tempting.
So they have their plans.
They felt that those fours kids have fully grown up yet, what could they understand? After few years, they could use some trick and take over all of those lands.
And also don't have to take care of them.
Isn't that great?

 

So when the Village Junior Officer Zhang made an appearance to request them to take in and care for Lian Fang Zhou and the others as their uncle and aunt, they rejected no matter what.
Firmly stating that the first branch and second branch has already separated, so the second branch got nothing to do with them.
And also that even though their brother and sister-in-law is gone, they still have the house and field.
Lian Fang Zhou is 15, and Lian Ze is 12.
They aren't kids anymore.
So why would they take them in? And they have to fund their son's study.
They indeed don't the energy to do more…

 

This matter brewed for few days.
No matter what Officer Zhang said, they were still not willing.
In the end, Officer Zhang let it go.

 

Everyone in the village knows about this matter.

 

So if Mrs.
Qiao and Lian Li want to take control of Lian Fang Zhou's marriage, it wouldn't be possible.

 

Third Aunt? She has already married off, so she can't intervene with her maternal family's matter.

 

So it's entirely possible for Lian Fang Zhou to choose her husband.
She couldn't possibly let her young brother help her decide, right?

 

Lian Fang Zhou coldly glanced at the couple with disdainful, mocking gaze.
She coldly said: “Ah Jian, let's go! We'll go to the County town tomorrow with Third Aunt!”

 

Lian Fang Zhou raised her foot to leave.
Ah Jian briefly looked at them and then followed Lian Fang Zhou.

 

“Fang Zhou! My niece!” Lian Li distressingly thought he mustn't let Lian Fang Zhou make trouble at the County Academy and ruin his son's reputation.

 

Lian Fang Zhou dare to risk going, but he couldn't.

 

Lian Fang Zhou didn't bother with him.
Her footsteps didn't halt at all; she kept on steadily walk away.

 

“NIECE! NIECE!” Lian Li became frantic.
He hurried over and reached out to grab Lian Fang Zhou's arm.

 

But before he could touch Lian Fang Zhou, Ah Jian raised his hand at the right time and blocked his outstretched hand.

 

Ah Jian's movement seems very natural and very relaxed as if it didn't contain any strength.
However, Lian Li, like Mrs.
Qiao earlier, felt as if a powerful force ram over.
He couldn't help stagger few steps away.
